Zombie Spawn Egg
minecraft:zombie_spawn_eggThe Zombie Spawn Egg is a Creative-mode-only item that instantly spawns a Zombie when used on a block or entity. Like all spawn eggs it cannot be crafted or found in Survival, and is obtained via the Creative inventory, pick block, or commands.
FAQ
How do you get a Zombie Spawn Egg?
It can only be obtained in Creative mode (from the inventory or by using pick block on an existing zombie) or through commands such as /give @s zombie_spawn_egg — it does not drop or generate in Survival.
What happens when you use it?
Right-clicking a block or mob with the egg instantly spawns an adult Zombie at that location, fully equipped with its default AI and any equipment normal zombies can naturally spawn with.
Does naming it do anything special?
Yes — anvil-naming certain spawn eggs triggers easter eggs (for example "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" flips the spawned mob upside down), though these tricks are shared across most mob types rather than unique to zombies.
Can it spawn a baby zombie?
Using the egg on an existing zombie of the same type spawns a baby variant instead of an adult, mirroring the "use on same mob" behavior shared by all spawn eggs.
